  • Funny, someone just gave me an epiphany with a snarky statement " we want our money back" I bet we will be offered an "opportunity" to go back to the old style or have a customizable channel for a small monthly fee, which will naturally increase over time. Being a business man, I understand the motives, I guess nothing can remain free forever. See you on the scrap heap with Myspace and Friendster . ~smirk~

  • I have the new design... I have six years of favorites reduced down to about 25. I had over 800 and 150 on playlist. All "controversial" videos will be gone.

  • google do not care about the views of its users, just in case you were wondering

  • Annoying captcha every 3 posts....

  • not fair it is my birthday 14 days after not a good gift

  • Mr. dutchsinse said everything, and I totally agree with the top comment at this moment. This is not about money, but information control. Seriously, it´s time to us find an alternative to YouTube. Any suggestions? I´m ready to go.

  • Damn it all. I will say before, I didn't believe 2012 would be the end. However, look what happened to here. I'd say the fall of this site prooves the end of an era. How is it, that what was once a reputable company, get so ignorant to not satisfy user's needs, which hurt their own interests, which in then turn, stopped other major buisness names from working with them? That finally deep fried this place on the back burner to its end? They better prove me wrong and satisfy us users or they lose.

  • kill the tea party , don't tread on me etc. ... freedom of speech..

  • I think this has a LOT to do with Google/Youtube (same damn thing now) directing us to content THEY want us to see and filtering out what they don't.

  • I agree to, youtube is just getting worse when they keep changing their designs.

  • according to updowner.com, youtube is in 1st position for the fastest dropping websites. It has lost almost 23.5 million users in the last 30 days

  • @jcbsebrigh Serves them right for the redesign. I can actually see old sites like my sp*ce going back up with "we still allow customization."

  • the best idea is not to boycott youtube because that is like cutting off your nose to spite your face but stop watching and clicking any adverts on youtube. Now that affects google that has paid a lot of money to be able to do this. Google will make youtube revert to the old user friendly design if its revenue is affected enough

  • I too LOVE the original version design. It gives me the ability to be creative with wallpaper/background, colors, text colors, avatar pictures and telling about myself and inviting people to be friends. I love all of this both in Youtube and in Myspace too!!

  • what happned after you called them ?

  • I have a feature on my channel where you can add your video as wel as protest against the shitty new design

  • I hate the new design i love the old design better we should have choice if they change the new you-tube design on march 7th 2012 i will leave you tube and i will not come back until they make the old design usable again it should be a option not force on us i don't like it when i get stuff force on me i love choices i been on you tube for seven years now senice 2005 and i will be sad to leave you tube but we have no rights anymore so it has to be done

  • Try ZippCAST and listen to the founders talking and answering questions about ZippCAST on prepping with Goat Hollow preppingbroadcasting... 2hr show archives

  • I HATE the new design!it so impersonal and pradonized,it's disgusting!

  • The new YouTube channel design is a major step back! Work on functionality Google, quit pissing us off!.

  • The new U-TOOB channel format......SUCKS ASS........

    Looks Just Like "FACE BOOK"?.......

    why???....if i want "Face Book"...i go to "Face Book".....

    and i dont want "Face Book"....I Want My U-TOOB....McGoogle is blowin it....

    I AND MILLIONS WOULD GIVE THE McGOOGLE THE FINGER AND BAIL FOR A NEW US-TOOB

    The Next Computer Genious could and will Make MILLIONS of a new US-TOOB.....

  • designer failed in nearly all aspects to fail

  • we should demand our money back! but you're right about the new design. you can't even customize the sequence of your videos, anymore. perhaps we're just beta testing for google.

  • It might be the facebook of the video world :( One format for all!

  • Woah, comment nerf. Privacy nerf. Epic fail youtube, and more than just a layout change. This is the way it will continue to go though. They don't want conversation/comments. They want zombies.

  • @keats27 The whole so called western "civilization" wants zombies: we should shut our mouths, work still more and more and consume: take credits, change cars, pollute the planet still more and more, buy corporations' crap. A crowd of slaves filling pockets of small elite whose greediness doesn't know limits... Independent thinking, creativity or simple humanity is considered highly suspicious, "terrorist" activity. How sad...

  • There is absolutely no individuality in the new format. All the channels will look the same.

    I'm getting out if they do this.

  • the new format is an isolation chamber

  • They are doing it on purpose, they want to slow and stop the sharing of relivant information on controvesial subjects.

  • @RageMojo Mainstream media like to use word "controversy" if there is any hint of truth.

  • There's a youtube boycott for Feb 18 & 19 (superstitiousblackcat=dot=wor­dpress=dot=com/2012/02/06/21/)­, everybody that dislike youtube's new display should boycott youtube (not go on youtube nor view any of the youtube videos embedded on other web pages) on those 2 days to send a clear message to them! You should also add the AdBlock Plus add-on for firefox browser (which blocks all the ads forced upon us by youtube)...

  • I dont understand why people bitch about the changing skins of social networks, they can do what ever the f#$k with ther skins, ur using their service, so u have to adhere to ther ideas. If you dont like it make your own website. Facebook is the worst at dis, but im using their service so if they decied to change, u change with it and plus if the interface is truly shit, people will stop using it. Small price to pay if you want shit for free

  • It's incredibly ugly to say the least. Unless they add transparency, I'll fucking boycott that shit.

  • The person who designed it should be shot. It is fucking horrible.

  • @superluminalthought Usually I am against violence but in this case indeed ;-))

  • I absolutely hate the new design. Nothing good about it, too much is lost and I feel as if my vids are devalued to tweets and have been shoved into the dark corner of my channel. Why cant they give us choice in design, you'd think by now Youtube knew their changes are always unpopular. Youtube wasnt broke until they started trying to fix it, and i bet this lattest change speeds up the sites ongoing decline.

  • I would like to pass this one in my own vid with your link on it to heads up the whispering community as well if that is ok, I will wait for your answer out of respect. We are many, like thousands that do it. So, if it's cool, I will post the link of your explanation of what's going on here on youtube. and I am ticked as hell of what's going on!! Thanks for a great vid on this issue!

  • By the way, there seems to be a push to go away from YT to a new site called Zipp Cast. They are making a lot of upgrades to accommodate the rapid growth due to people leaving YT.

  • The new design also does not allow a viewer to stay on the same channel & watch all of that particular YouTubers videos. In essence, if another video besides the FEATURED video is clicked,, then it takes the viewer to a different screen & away from the original channel.

  • i thought the change will be on march the 7

  • when you called them what did they say?

  • No, you're not the only one.

    I feel the same way about my subs, and I don't even make videos and got about 50 of them.

    I want to see how many of them take off on March 7th, then it will be time to shut down.

    I don't even HAVE a comment section when I try the new design,

    ....and that big gray blob in the middle, no transparency, I mean, how dull can they make it?

  • yt own this site and can do what they like, don't like it? then F.O. to megavideo

  • i can;t even do half the things on the new design that i could do on the old channel.

  • Its March 7 for me!

  • Must have functionality and options. Lots of options == Satisfied users

  • please youtube change back...

  • thats not the original thats V2

  • If I say that I HATE those new channels it does not even express the most infinitesimal particle of my UTTER DISGUST and DISAPPOINTMENT. I have been on Youtube for more than 4 years on a daily basis. I used to love the place and friends I met here. But I am not staying, so sad to say goodbye... We are all SICK and TIRED of google crap and spying on people. Can't we really do something to save it ??? Anyone knows someone from Anonymous to put them right in their place ?

  • Oh my god I loveyou man so much for making this video about this new shity channel!! YouTube needs to stop!

  • YouTube needs to stop assfucking (updating) and needs to stop being google's bitch.

    Advertisements, strict copyrighted shit, crappy home pages, got rid of streams &

    friends? etc. etc. What the fuck is up with that? What's next? Another channel page update that looks shitty? Oh wait..

    YouTube Apocalypse: March 7th, 2012.

    They need to give us an option. We're the money.. I miss the old YouTube.

    This is lame.

  • @xlawlzyourfacex True bro

  • @justyaSweetAngel Yuh, bruh.

  • Comment removed

  • @xlawlzyourfacex Lawl. :D

  • @xlawlzyourfacex i know and get this: my bday is March 7+ :(

  • @Alman101100 WOW. That sucks. Happy early birthday xD

  • @xlawlzyourfacex I hope you know they ARE google.

  • @dutchsinse .... Agree with you 100 percent .... And if YouTube won't listen to reason, ... well, there's always Vimeo, a youtube-like site created (quoting their site) by filmmakers and video makers who wanted to share their creative work ... Time somebody pointed out there ARE sites other than YouTube, who seems to think anymore they're too good to listen to those of us who actually built it up with our patronage...

  • this is by far the worst channel design . the original was the fucken best. the one we have now is alright and cool , but this one is fucken wack

  • dutch it is all about 10101010000011110010101001YouT­ube doesn't have the storage for what they want to MONOPOLIZE on. This is why they are not sharing insider info on these changes.Twitter and in your FaceBook or as I call it ASSFACEBOOK are kicking google ass and now they are playing catch up. bubblegoogle to big to fail. Noble try though dutch but they will step on everyone to get to the top again. We are just a drop in the SH#T BUCKET.They just want us to go away to make space

  • booo hooo all u bitches deal with it wahhhhh wahhhhhh go outside or something fack lol

  • freiends what friends , youdouche ! frakk google

  • i went zippcast goldfidelitydotcom

  • The new design just comparmentalizes us and makes it really hard to network.The design looks like crap.

  • people are posting all over on how the look sucks and google has no response to it, all they hear is blah blah blah design blah blah blah

  • The new layout indeed SUCKS!

  • @Linux4UnMe Dude, ive been saying that since day 1 XD

  • Time to make a zipcast account

  • this shit sucks! are they really going to do this? and if it does, should i go to zippcast?

  • @dahmn8r1

    Yes.

  • I show my subscribers cause I figure it will help them get views. I never thought some people might not want people to know, but that's probably true for allot of people.

  • TOTAL BULLSHIT!

  • All youtube wants is for people to click on adds. They don't give a damn about the youtubers themselves.

  • I'm with you, it's awful; I love the current/old design. I'll probably not use youtube as much if they go through with this change, it will be no good.

  • New look is lame.

  • i hate the new look god damn it

  • WOW

  • I like to show my subscribers as it allows people to get in touch with like minded people and gives them exposure. If people want to hide they don't have a channel on YouTube.

    I don't like the new look anyway. I didn't like when they took the friends away myself.

    The new look is as boring as dog shit.

  • Time to look for somewhere else, Ive googled 15 sites better than YouTube. Some of them offer better tools for making videos, Some spread your videos to all the social video sites, Once they get the big crowed jumping over they will offer more and more Bandwidth.

    The fact that you can personalise your channel is one of the attractions to YouTube.

  • YouTube is not thinking...is not taking a survey...is just 'out to lunch'..on something this MAJOR.

    We have to have privacy...and anonymity if we wish...that is critical....

  • i fucking hate this new shitty channel design youtube will lose alot of users for this.

  • You can find it on _______BING SEARCH_____ But we need to make sure

    that GOOGLE DOESN'T HAVE ANY PARTNERSHIP IN IT AT ALL---

    DEFEATS THE PURPOSE THEN___

  • I googled Zippcast the place everyone is saying to check out.

    WELL_____-GOOGLE DOESN'T HAVE IT_____hummmm

    makes you wonder why??? But are we sure GOOGLE doesn't

    own it too__We need to make sure before we all leave an make

    the same mistakes. Add your name in the google and see what

    thy already know about you. Every page and comment you have

    been too and made. Same with Twitter want your comments

    public. FaceBook it;'s the same way. Any GOOGLE account is

    going to make a profile on you!!

  • youtube don't.

  • I don't even think they will do this. I hate the design. Big time.

    But even if 68% of youtube user's quit, Another 68% join's the next day.

    They'd still be making money.

    D: I'm losing so much good site's because of the design's!

  • if they change it on March 7, let's all leave cause this is tyranny why won't youtube just listen to us the people. It seems they are now working for the government to prevent and restrict free speech.

  • I wish google had kept the old look. Youtube was better when it was just Youtube.

  • First facebook is forcing their timeline, and now youtube. I'm smelling some sort of new business plan under the table? Government involved? When facebook changes to timeline layout, I'm gone! When youtube changes to new layout, I'm gone! Whoever was working on the new layout needs to be fired because everyone knows the design looks hideous to begin with.

  • They got pissed when the government was try'n 2 restrict them, how ironic that they R do'n the same 2 us. We (the people) made youtube the empire it is; now they made their money & just don't care bout R opinions. WTF! TY!! Maybe someone w/deep pockets can create an alternative 2 YT. New design is bland, drabby & uniform allows no room 4 creativity. O boy an extra week, how about we just turn it off for 4 weeks... I know i know i love it too, but i hate b'n bullied more. I'm an ADULT! MARIA

  • March 7th now, we've got an extra week until we have to then cry :-(

    Doesn't look like Youtube are listening to be honest.

  • @robbiegloverofficial

    YES AN EXTRA WEEK TO TRACK YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

  • It's changed to March 7th!!

  • it changed the date to March 7th

  • Fuck corptube, next.. they'll make it mandatory for you to provide your telephone number. They'll say it's for account security. Farewell.. youtube.

  • Goood bye YouTube...oh wait its TheirTube now.....

  • I liked the old, old youtube channels, like in 2008.

  • Removing the modules, destroys Youtube.

    But that's only part of the problem. On the same day the new design goes into effect, so does the invasion of privacy protocols that are linked with Google. This is worse than any thing the government has done, yet no one seems to be worried that this corporation will be tracking your every move on the internet. This is out of control.

  • Actually, the date will be pushed forward to March 7th, so we still have a little longer. It's only January though, so we might get this new design as optional, or even perished.

  • I hate the new layout!!! So ugly!!!

  • NIXAZIZU OVO VOLI :D

  • Hate the new channel design, no channel comments appear, videos are too big, and all the description don't show

  • great work michael highlighting this monstrosity they are forcing on us...

    the opening page states..

    Sign in to YouTube

    Join the largest worldwide video community

    Get full access to YouTube with your account

    Upload and share your own videos with the world

    Comment on rate and make video responses to your favorite videos

    Build playlists of favorites to watch later

    the new design is exactly against these words..needle in a haystack..and at what cost and by such amateurs..''community'' a joke.

  • -o- this new layout looks like crap and its confusing as hell -_-

  • I HATE THE NEW LAYOUT.

  • was just on drudge, there's a story about how google/YT beginning march 1 you won't be able to opt out of google tracking/ snooping on you. so very soon i'm just gonna delete all accounts with google/YT. thnx 4 all the work you have done. i have enjoyed your work.

    Mike.

  • lol, youtube is going to take a big hit when they implement this stupid format..... are they really that foolish to try to force it on ppl? im already locked and loaded on ZippCast

  • That's good old YouTube messing around with formats and apps just as most people were getting use to the 'last' new and improved YouTube. This present format will NOT be user friendly than precious versions. I have already lost so many friends that had put so much time with creating videos that get pulled without notice and have nothing to do with YouTube to date..I will play this video forward dutchsinse and also participate with video boycotts that are being posted..

  • WOW!!!!

  • What the Fucking Hell.

  • when youtube upgrades, (or in my opinion "down"grades) my channel will no longer be visible, don't blame me when youtube ruins everything again

  • btw we can thank google for this...everyone always says googles awesome google this google that...shits OVERATED lol....oh and when they merged with youtube it was a HASSLE signing up!! lol dammit all

  • i fucking HATE this new design!!! the old design you can just click to add a friend, now the new design its a fucking HASSLE to add a friend doing all this shit!!! please DONT force us with this bs

  • Zippcast are going to struggle against the likes of Google, if their search engine is anything to go by they will corner this market! However your design layout should be left upto you what you choose as long as it is within the realms of decency and is not racist or abusive then you should be free to do what you want, I mean the whole slogan Broadcast yourself, your channel is your identity? I thought Communism was dead but obviously not.Come on Youtube relax a little.

  • You aren't the only one. Youtube likes to rape us with change, and usually it ends up being for the worse. If youtube actually had a lick of sense, they would give us two options, and maintain the predecessor / old channel style. Forcing the change is like youtube saying "We are right, and you are all wrong. We are better than you and think this is the right thing to do." Then they proceed to flip the bird at all of us and laugh maniacally.

    With enough voices, would they listen to us? perhaps!

  • GOOGLE are trying to increase MONETISATION on everything they do, buying everything up, then reducing services by the back door.

    This move any stops real debate or reaction.

    We will just be circulated on a "Google Loop" of stuff THEY THINK we agree with, based on search engine results.

    NO FORUM => NO DEBATE => JUST TOTALITARIAN GOOGLE "optimizing" our lives and TELLING us what we believe!

  • I just found out about this, so I typed it and yours was the first video that came up. Funny thing is I was already subscribed to you lol. Anyways, I totally agree with you that this is lame. The new design is stupid and it's not very organized whatsoever. This is bullshit that they would force that stupid fucking design. Anyways, love the videos man you do great work.

  • its about greed and money, they change the layout so they can charge people to look at channels from there TV, nothing you or we say will change there minds. money rules the world. lets all move on

    how hard is it to set up a second community video site . someone with some spare cash can do it ,

    sopa will just can it anyway , thats why the US government is bring in the bill thats passed congress

    i be more worried about SOPA then google and what its doing to our community video site Y/T

  • I cannot speak for everyone/anyone else, but I especially or better yet I absolutely hate the proposed "newer" youtube channel/s layout/designs, I guess this is their way of limiting viewership, I suspect that it might succeed.

  • how do u add friend on new YT fkc desinger? i dont know where

  • @Edsilvacunha EXACTLY! thats one of the main reasons why i HATE this new design! its no more just click on a "add friend" button" now you have to go to settings and go to like 3 different things, then go back to there name highlight and copy and paste it back somewhere else....i HATE it its such a hassle just to add a friend now lol

  • i hate the new youtube channel designer

  • @Edsilvacunha You can hardly call selecting background color and predefined layout which also looks all the same design.

    I can't access my favorites anymore, can't see comments, I can't set video to autoplay when someones join my channel...

  • @MrLudijak thats right i just hate the new YT channel designer. if they change mine to new designer i will be really disappointed

  • I have a lot to say, but you'd call me a conspiracy theorist.

  • Primitive, generic, boring, etc.... i don't understand yt's angle on this..

    it's like going from ps3 back to PONG .... seriously wtf?

    is it an effort to shut down social networking? or perhaps to cut down on maintenance costs?

    ughh! .. come March 1st, i'm packing up shop and my 2 accounts will be saying BYE BYE

  • Youtube will lose customers cause of their New Shit! Don't they know that or Give a DAMN?!  Youtube is starting to turn into Cyber Hell!

  • If YT goes through with their stupid march 1st decision, I'll forever hate them.

  • Come on you tube, enough is enough. we are becoming faceless nameless things, there is nothing on the new format to let us know who the people are, what they like reading, their musical taste where they live. As I said no face no name; nothing

  • why can't they keep the old layout but make it look modern? why do they have to change the layout completely?

  • sounds like ill be heading to zippcast. fuck youtube and their bullshit community guidelines too.

  • removing the modules is the reason I am leaving March 1st too. It's unreal that we can't keep our subscribers, subscriptions and the date we last signed in private!

  • And yet Zippcast has made us feel better. 

  • THE NEW LAYOUT SUCKS BALLZ

  • @tuniturntablist You got that right

  • Cannot believe they are going ahead with making the New Design compulsary, it looks like a printer got sick!!! Jesus if any one hears this dont fix something that isnt broke!

  • SCREW YOU YOUTUBE! NEW LAYOUTS SUUUUUUCK

  • .....

  • I hate the new design..

    You can't see the comments anymore ...

    And it's too gray and boring.

    YOUTUBE IS GAY NOW.

    I'm gonna send them a bomb in the mail on March 1st.

  • Comment removed

  • The new youtube sucks

  • I'm not a fan of the new youtube layout myself! If you wanna get more views to get your word out check out Tubegain (dot) Com

  • thanks for the info on zippcast...youtube will prolly lose lots of users by march 2...sad...

  • Fail big time!!!!! I hated the the new view but now I,m mad You tube is going to lose so many people on that day.

  • youtube is going to "jump the shark" on this 1

  • I want to keep the video autoplay too & the uploads/favourites to show as they do on the old design, this is absolutely horrendous!

  • Youtube only listen when it suits them OR if it puts their arses on the line (IE Copyright for example), I've had a video for months thats claiming it has a Jon B track in it (It doesn't, theirs nothing related to Jon B in the video in the slightest & is a mistake of their system), gone through all the process's & eventually emailed them for months on end & always get a generated pasted response, if any.

    They won't listen, this new channel layout is truly the worse thing EVER by far!!

  • @robbiegloverofficial I truly aggree with you.

  • I have yet to find another site that gives acceptable video performance (i.e. an equivalent to 360p) on my *cough* slightly dated *cough* machine. Plus YT still is the biggest audiovisual archive on the net (I've found stuff on here that I wouldn't even have dreamed of years ago, going back to pre-WWII).

    But yes, the new channel layout absolutely sucks (+ front page isn't great), at least for my purposes. It might do slightly better for a "publishing" type channel.

  • We should also flood the Youtube official channel, with comments saying to bring back the old channeland pre-cosmic panda 3.0 design. Anyone else?

  • duchsinse when u called what did they say

  • star of David^ they have taken control

  • Just saying....when they changed it other times did they listen to everyone?...No, and I doubt they will let us choose for this one either.

  • People of Utube!

    +Vote here if u still want to keep the old Utube design!! XD

    and show them that we still want it!!!

  • I agree with you bro. Hope they don't force us to use this new layout. It is flat out terrible. I subbed. THX

  • the reason for this is youtube doesnt want people to use their service to make money, example if you subscribe to someone your face will show up on their channel..and that is sort of advertising. there are a lot of other reasons that i know i would rather not mention. i just really dislike the fact we are being forced to do this, its simple bullying. theres already a lot to
